This is a compelling portrait of three communities blighted by drugs and isolation: East New York, North Philadelphia, and the Red Hook housing projects in Brooklyn, New York. Alongside the bold and often graphic black-and-white images, are Richardsʼ own personal observations and interviews with gang members, addicts, dealers, parents, children, the elderly, sex workers, police, and the clergy. Inscribed by the artist.
